Forrest Gump, the inoffensive, scoop of vanilla Best Picture winner from 1994 took that honor from Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, and Quiz Show. Think about that while listening to this episode or to Tom Hanks' now-cliche Southern drawl and slow-witted delivery.

Summer's first actually FUN movie arrives in the form of the much-dreaded, much-maligned, unnecessarily-feared remake of Ghostbusters starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristin Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon. Full of wacky humor, energetic performances, and (possibly too many) winks to the original film, Ghostbusters is worth your time and your money!

George Clooney radiates smug charm and Wall Street savvy in Jodie Foster's thriller Money Monster.

OK...Los Angeles, you have some brand maintenance to attend to. This week we watched two films featuring dinner parties in Los Angeles that go horribly awry.

#OscarsSoWhite indeed! 12 Angry Men, a subscriber suggestion, boasts a great cast made entirely of white men. They certainly don't make them like this anymore.

Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle have created, in Steve Jobs, a fascinating, electric, scary portrait of a difficult famous subject. Turning the idea of a "bio-pic" on its head, Sorkin's whip-smart dialogue and brilliant plot structure, provide a glimpse into a hyper-stylized version of the Apple co-founder without walking note-by-note through his life story. Wounded early and fiercely protective of his accomplishments, Michael Fassbender's Steve Jobs, terrorizes friends and foes alike moments before taking the stage at three pivotal product launches. Boyle and Sorkin capture lightning in a bottle and paint a picture of a frustratingly demanding and often cruel icon whose status as Genius or Charlatan will be long debated.

Listen to this episode to hear the guys discuss:

What they liked:

The incredible screenplay

Powerful performances all around (even Seth Rogen was great!)

This movie was about seven hours too short
